    I await my v5 order and have been reading the forum - seems Toyo is OEM but there was another thread saying Yokohama tires may be OEM. Newbie so not sure how to do poll.

    My new v has Bridgestone Turanza standard. Must not have Ecopias in the 16" size yet. So far, pretty good tire, keep at 39psi.

    Thank you

    It is odd that toyo tires website doesn't list the tire. Tirerack has the tire but not the size.

    Looks like if that is what comes on my v I will have to fine a different tire come replacement time.

    Don't worry. There are better tire options. You'll be covered come replacement time. :)

    Bridgestone EL400 on 16" rims. But they were switched out for Nokian studded snow tires within 12 hours.
